Rum Distillery in San Juan



These pics were taken at the Bacardi Rum Distillery in San Juan. We thought that the tour would be awesome. We wanted some time on the island to explore and since this excursion was about 2 hours, we thought that we'd have plenty of time to shop in the markets afterwards. We really wanted to learn about how rum was made. We figured that since sugar cane is Puerto Rico's main crop and since Rum is made from this that we would learn a bit about the island. It ended up being horrible. We waited in the hot sun for about 1.5 hours and the tour lasted for about 15 minutes in a small room. We didn't even get to see the machines that they use for fermenting the sugar cane etc. We did get some good pictures though.
